Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Tuesday, August 04, 2009

That is why the Father loves Me for this; because I lay down My life.
- Jn 10:17


Reflection
: Martyrdom is as nothing in comparison with the Mass. Martyrdom is the sacrifice that human beings make of their lives to God. But the Mass is the sacrifice that God makes, on behalf of people, of his Body and Blood.

- St. John Vianney


Prayer
: Lord Jesus, help me to realize that the Mass is the greatest sign of Your boundless love for me. At every Mass, let me thus offer to You my whole self, with all its joys and sorrows, successes and failures.
